Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end, has recently been at the center of both sports and entertainment headlines. Following the Chiefs’ 23-14 victory over the Houston Texans on January 18, 2025, rapper Lil Wayne criticized the team, referring to them as the “Cheating Azz Chiefs” on social media.
This comment stemmed from controversial officiating during the game, where penalties against the Texans for contact with quarterback Patrick Mahomes were deemed questionable by fans and players alike. Addressing the remark on the “New Heights” podcast, co-hosted with his brother Jason Kelce, Travis responded lightheartedly, saying, “Shout out to Tunechie, man.”
In the entertainment realm, Kelce’s surprise appearance during Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ concert in London in June 2024 has earned them a nomination for Favorite Surprise Guest at the upcoming 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Swift leads the nominations with ten, including a special recognition for her ‘Eras Tour’ as the “Tour of the Century.” The awards ceremony is scheduled for March 17 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
On the field, Kelce’s performance against the Texans was instrumental, recording seven catches for 117 yards and a touchdown. The Chiefs are set to face the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Conference Championship on January 26, 2025, aiming for another Super Bowl appearance.
